Since Elon Musk became Twitter’s CEO, he’s been pushing through a lot of changes to the social network. But perhaps…
I’m dark mode everything, everywhere, but options are good and taking away options is bad. If people want to sear their retinas by using light mode, they should be able to.
I use light mode because dark mode is far more likely to trigger migraines in me. This is legit an accessibility issue, and he fired the entire accessibility team.
I use dark mode everywhere, but people with dyslexia or astigmatism may have difficulty reading light text on dark backgrounds.
Yeah light mode doesn’t work for me but why in the name of the gods would I want that to mean it’s not an option for other people? Compulsory light mode is bad. Compulsory dark mode is bad. But Elon seems to have incredible trouble believing other people are a thing to model, let alone actually doing the modelling. It sucks, and I am sorrowful for people like you and thingsiplay for having the internet get less useful for you and having this dipshit providing a bad example for other people with too much power and too little wisdom.
@stopthatgirl7 I also often use light mode on most websites. Since 2 years or so I started using dark mode on several applications or websites as well, but most dark modes suck. Some give me headache or burn my eyes.
Taking the option is really an accessibility issue. Elon tries every trick under the sun to destroy the platform, in ways I could not imagine or forgot. I’m sure there will pop up addons for browsers at least to change the style. Everyone else, good luck.
The thing is, I don’t think he’s deliberately trying to destroy the birdsite. He’s exhibiting the same mentality as the billionaire who got himself and a few others to die in a faulty submersible. He thinks he knows better than everyone but is completely out of touch from reality because his money usually shields him from consequences.
Elon Musk is just an idiot. A useful idiot to those who fund him like the Saudis, but an idiot all the same.
Try the “Dark Reader” plugin (works for all chromium-based browsers and Firefox - at least). It lets you customise the “darkness” of the dark mode to your hearts content. I have most of my sites set up so that they’re more “very dark grey” rather than black.
Doesn’t always work nicely, some sites get their images mangled, or the text will get a weird shade that makes it illegible, but overall, it’s great. And you probably can fix most of these issues by tweaking the filter settings.
